That is absolutely incredible! I would love to see more before and after projects like this. It’s really inspiring!

The contrast between before and after is hardly to believe. What a job well done!

I am really impressed that they decided to remodel this house instead of just starting over from scratch. I think most people would have just torn it down, but this looks great and was probably less wasteful.

I’m not always a big fan of walnut and a dark countertop. Although the lighting isn’t great in these photos it is clearly too dark. I think the house has a defined theme but it is too dark all around. It seems to be a strong attempt to build a DWR inspired home.

Still doesn’t make it worth the asking price of $699,000 in a neighborhood where NOTHING is worth more then $440,000 in a sinking economy. that said, it’s a rockin nice house. just not for that price!

Thanks for sharing

Oh, I’d say it’s well worth the price. If you’re planning to live in it for a decent interval.
What did they do to the brinks? Did they paint, then tuckpoint?

Worth it? you’d pay nearly double the going rate of the neighbourhood? that’s insane, even if you planned on being there for 30 years that’s too much. might as well buy something and renovate your own project into something as nice, if not nicer, for far less then this asking price. Trust me, it’s not that hard to do, you just got to make sure you don’t get taken by the contractors. I work in the architectural industry, renovations are far less expensive then people believe, only cause they let themselves be had and fooled into thinking that good taste is expensive. This price tag is INSANELY high for no good reason other then the coverage it’s getting online these days. Even that is far from a good reason to be asking $699,000

I don’t know if the price is too high and I disagree with many choices these people made (too dark for me), but I think this is truely inspirational as to what you can do with such an old rundown house.

I can’t seem to see a dining space inside the house.Is it supposed to be between the kitchen and the lounge room? There doesn’t seem to be enough space for one.

low ceilings make those Nelson pendants look silly on such short cables.

Beautiful remodel; holds the existing MCM lines very well.
But who’s the warden who designed the shower? I want to live with roommates, not inmates!

I think this material scheme would work alot better as a museum for some reason. But, I love the combination of materials on the exterior (the ashy colored brick complimented by semi-dark wood). Also, I’m a huge fan of renovation rather than starting from scratch, so props!

Love the remodel. I felt like it embraced the original style of the home whilst making it modern. I love the dark colours – especially the dark wood. Very soothing and I like how the lines inside – such as the elevated counter in the bathroom – mimic the lines outside. Gorgeous.

A silk purse from a sows ear. Nicely done.

This is great! As an architect myself, I can proudly say what a great job these guys did and how much effort was put into it!
